Dr. U. B. Pavanja writes:Making a font is an elaborate process. Artists have to draw each character (glyph) on paper, they have to be scanned, digitized, hinted, etc. It takes months for each font. KGP should have the complete record of making of the fonts like original drawings by the artist, first raw digitized data, the final font, etc.I was studying the glyphs of all Kannada fonts. When I opened Baraha, Akruti and Nudi fonts in a font editing software, I found that they all have the same glyph sets, even though their ASCII values are different. As Sathyanarayana has detailed in his write-up, the glyphs from Akruti fonts were used in the first version of Baraha, which was then used in the first version of Nudi.

FINDINGS:SHESHADRI VASU has written an email letter in 2004 to AKRUTHI FONTS owner stating that he has STOLEN GLYPHS from AKRUTHI FONTS in year 1997.KANNADA GANAKA PARISHAT does not have the documents, how they made NUDI FONTS.It shows that KGP-KAGAPA has STOLEN from BARAHA FONTS according to Pavanaja and Sathyanaraya.

NUDI and BARAHA have destroyed the growth of KANNADA. In the name of FREE SOFT WARE BARAHA and FREE WARE NUDI, is jeopardizing the other SOFTWARE DEVELOPERS coming forward and developing more applications in KANNADA. But still some are doing it. it is very hard for them until Govt. of Karnataka removes an order saying that all departments have to use NUDI Fonts.
